Neither the UN chief nor Papadopoulos made any statements before the
meeting. When asked after the meeting what the difference was between the
memorandum and the third Annan plan, Papadopoulos said: ''I have not seen
it yet''.|

The meeting took place at the residence of Acting Special Representative of
the UN Secretary General, UNFICYP Chief of mission Zbigniew Wlosowicz, in
the UN-controlled buffer zone, near the Nicosia airport.

Scores of local and foreign media representatives have gathered outside the
residence, where Annan is due to meet also with Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf
Denktash.

Annan earlier met with outgoing President of the Republic Glafcos Clerides, at
the latter's residence.
